A shocking hit list of staff facing the sack to save money at a hotel has been revealed on Twitter.

Five workers are singled out for potentially losing their jobs in an email allegedly from management at Rossett Hall Hotel, Wrexham.

The email, dated to November last year, is revealed in a tweet posted by @RossettHall with a message "Who do you think that we should sack from this list of employees then guys? Email Martin or Paul #Wrexham#Chester "

A spokesman for Rossett Hall Hotel today confirmed they had "lost control" of their Twitter account to hackers, and were "working with Twitter to regain control of it".

He added that the matter had been reported to the police as a "confidential email" had been accessed.

The hotel carried out a redundancy programme at the end of last year

The tweet, which was sent shortly after 9pm yesterday, has been re-tweeted 180 times and favourited by 39 users.

The email states axing the posts could reduce the wage bill by 32% – a saving of nearly £1,000 a week. It also includes details of workers’ length of service and how much could be saved if each individual were sacked. The names of the employees have been blacked out.

A North Wales Police spokesman confirmed the hotel reported to them today that they had been "hacked" and were "given advice".

Rossett Hall, a Grade II listed Georgian manor house built in 1750, is a popular wedding venue due to its idyllic setting.

Manchester United star Paul Scholes famously married his childhood sweetheart at Rossett Hall back in 1999, with David and Victoria Beckham among the high-profile guests.
